Arc Broward Privacy Policy

Arc Broward recognizes the importance of protecting information we may collect from visitors to our website. Our policy is to use the information we acquire from visitors to our websites for internal purposes only, and we maintain the appropriate security measures to keep this information private.

If a user chooses to give Arc Broward personal information via the Internet for the purposes of correspondence or processing a donation, then it is our intent to let you know how we will use such information.

If a user tells us that they do not wish to have their information used as a basis for further contact, we will respect those wishes. We do keep track of the domains from which people visit us. We analyze this data for trends and statistics, and then we discard it.

Arc Broward takes precautions to confirm that users’ information disclosed to us is secure, and such information will not be disclosed to third parties for commercial purposes. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.

Use of Cookies

Certain sections of the Arc Broward website use “cookies” to store user information. A cookie is a small string of text that a website can send to your browser. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture your email address. Currently, websites use cookies to enhance the user’s visit. In general, cookies can securely store a user’s ID and password, personalize home pages, identify which parts of a site have been visited, or keep track of selections in a “shopping cart.” Cookies help us understand which parts of our websites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how long they spend there. We use cookies to study traffic patterns on our site so we can make the site even better.

If you are just browsing the Arc Broward website, a cookie identifies only your browser. If you become a registered user on an Arc Broward website (with a user ID and password), we may use cookies so that we can provide personalized information that we believe will be of value to you based on preferences you have indicated while visiting the site. It is possible to set your browser to inform you when a cookie is being placed – this way, you have the opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. If you are just browsing our site and are not a registered user, you do not have to accept a cookie and you can still continue browsing the site. However, if you are visiting a site where you will be accessing a confidential account, you must accept that site’s cookies because they are essential for site administration and security.
